cumprod
cumulative product of array elements
Syntax
y = cumprod(x) y = cumprod(x, orientation) y = cumprod(x, outtype) y = cumprod(x, orientation, outtype)
Arguments
- x
- an array of reals, complex, booleans, polynomials or rational fractions. 
- orientation
- it can be either - a string with possible values - "*",- "r",- "c"or- "m"
- a number with positive integer value 
 
- outtype
- a string with possible values - "native"or- "double".
- y
- scalar or array 
Description
For an array x,
            y=cumprod(x) returns in the scalar y the
            cumulative product of all the elements of x.
y=cumprod(x,orientation) returns in
            y the cumulative product of x along the
            dimension given by orientation:
- if - orientationis equal to 1 or "r" then: - or  
- if - orientationis equal to 2 or "c" then: - or  
- if - orientationis equal to n then: 
- y=cumprod(x,"*")is equivalent to- y=cumprod(x)
- y=cumprod(x,"m")is equivalent to- y=cumprod(x,orientation)where- orientationis the index of the first dimension of- xthat is greater than 1. This option is used for Matlab compatibility.
The outtype  argument rules the way the product is done:
- For arrays of floats, of polynomials, of rational fractions, the evaluation is always done using floating points computations. The - "double"or- "native"options are equivalent.
- For arrays of integers, - if - outtype="native"the evaluation is done using integer computations (modulo 2^b, where b is the number of bits used),- if - outtype="double"the evaluation is done using floating point computations.- The default value is - outtype="native".
- For arrays of booleans, - if - outtype="native"the evaluation is done using boolean computations (* is replaced by &),- if - outtype="double"the evaluation is done using floating point computations (%t values are replaced by 1 and %f values by 0).- The default value is - outtype="double".
